The Naples scavenger hunt starts at the National Archaeological Museum and heads into the historic centre to the Sansevero Chapel, San Domenico Maggiore, the Santa Chiara complex and the Gesù Nuovo. You continue to San Nicola alla Carità, the Fountain of Neptune, Castel Nuovo and the Galleria Umberto I, and finish on Piazza del Plebiscito.
The route covers about 3.7 km, roughly 46 minutes of walking. You can start anywhere or change the order in the app, with Google Maps guiding you. No entry tickets are needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
The historic centre of Naples is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, cut through by the long, straight street known as Spaccanapoli. The Archaeological Museum holds treasures from Pompeii and Herculaneum, the Sansevero Chapel is home to the Veiled Christ, the Gesù Nuovo has a striking diamond-point stone façade, and medieval Castel Nuovo guards the harbour.
A game makes you look closely at façades, statues and details you would otherwise rush past, and the stories that follow explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, there is no schedule, and you can stop for a pizza or an espresso whenever you like.
